Hi,
I just have a few things to ask other people with aspergers..
Do you.... forget to make visitors drinks and things like that and maybe only remember later when it feels like it's a bit late to ask at all!
Same with conversation - do you.... forget to ask how people are or how their holiday was or how work is etc..?
I have always forgotten to make people drinks as soon as they arrive, although over time I now know to do that. I might still forget to get on with it immediately though and if we're having a gathering I will let people in and then they'll wander off and my husband will then ask if they want a drink and I think 'oops'.
I always forget to ask about other people.. I don't mean to not ask but for example I'll stand at the school to collect the children and someone will speak to me. They will ask me things and they will remember things and ask me about them. I will be fine to answer and I will natter on and laugh.. but I find I'm racking my brains for what to ask them about. Then another parent will turn up and they'll ask them all the things I realise would've been good for me to have said..... !!
Often, before the school run I think about all the things that would be nice to ask certain people. Reminding myself that one mum had a hospital appointment or that someone has been on a holiday.
Does any of this sound familiar to other people? Thanks.
